If I have to hear that Xavien Howard is a great or even good corner one more time I am going to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every teams number one receiver destroys him for at least one game changing play per game! I would rather have Jason Sanders cover the other teams number 1 receiver than to see the back of Howard's jersey chasing receivers to the end zone!
 
There's only so much X can do. Remember he has a lingering groin Injury.

True but he has been hurt before......one reason I didn’t like giving him an extension and then yet another one. He's missed time several times but hey, that's a Dolphins thing it seems. We just can’t keep a healthy team.
 
If he is hurt then he should rest, no point in him playing hurt and giving up big plays. I know we don't depth but at this point I'd just rest him.

Are you talking about the 44 yard pass play to Jefferson, where Howard was rubbed on a pick play? It was a well executed play by the Vikings and we had Rowe covering for an injured Needham. Is that the play you are talking about?
 
This is simply not true. He locked up Diggs when he was healthy a couple weeks ago. He’s been dealing with the groin injury.
 
He’s never been a true shut down CB. He’s a playmaker. I don’t mind if he gives up big plays as long as he makes some game changing play which he’s not doing as consistently as he used to.
 
Yesterday, the defense was far from being the issue. The offense on the other hand was disgusting!
 
Would it be fair to say our pass rush hasn't been what it was? What about our cover 0? Have offenses figured out how to capitalize on it?
 
Been saying this over and over. People are starting to realize it now, but Xs D has been in a lot of peoples mouths for a few years now.
 
been saying it for years, X is a play making corner and never was a true shut down corner, theres a reason why he had so many INT's in his career, because the WR's hes covering get separation and X does a great job on locating the ball and making a play on it. but its clear now hes not the same player. that being said I prefer the play making CB's than the "shut down" corners who never get thrown to and therefore rarely create turnovers

or him trying to cover Thielen in the end zone!
